The next prediction of the model is that for a given penalty level, the governor will increase allowance rates if the return to doing so is higher.
Given the strong prediction of the model that learning implies a given governor should increase allowance rates, we estimate a specification with governor and year fixed effects (note that state fixed effects will be subsumed in the specification).
Savers will be able to put up to £10,200 a year into tax-free individual savings accounts (Isas) as a result of this week's budget – with the over-50s allowed to take advantage of the increased allowances from October.
